Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.

Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.

Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.

Forty is the old age of youth fifty the youth of old age.

Old minds are like old horses you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.
